Rowing

At the 2011 World Rowing Junior Championships at Dorney Lake, Dorney, England, Shepherd won silver with the junior men's coxed four. At the 2012 World Rowing U23 Championships at Trakai in Lithuania, Shepherd won bronze with the U23 men's coxed four. At the 2013 World Rowing U23 Championships at Linz-Ottensheim in Austria, he won gold with the men's eight. A year later at the July 2014 World Rowing U23 Championships in Varese, Italy, he won another gold with the same boat. On 29 August 2014, Shepherd was the cox for Hamish Bond and Eric Murray when they set the world best time in the men's coxed pair at the 2014 World Rowing Championships at Bosbaan, Amsterdam in the final race, thus winning gold. As of 2021 that time still stood as the world's best. He came fourth at the 2015 World Rowing Championships with the men's eight, qualifying the boat for the 2016 Olympics. This is the first time that a New Zealand eight qualified for the Olympics since 1984, despite the famous performance of past eights including the 1982 New Zealand eight. He came sixth with his team at the eights competition in Rio de Janeiro.
